    And Rafa remains the only ethnic minority representation in the mod team

    (Socrates and Vesta don't count.)
    I am an Ashkenazi Jew, and therefore an ethnic minority. :yes:

    Well, nota bene's a Swede. For the purposes of my outrage, he's white, and so you are, too. :teeth:

    It is a nationality not an ethnicity. It counts for nothing :p:

    Is being from Yorkshire a nationality or an ethnicity? Seems to me that ethnicity can be what you define it as.

    I always thought it was a disability.

    This is a logically flawed statement to make. If you have come to the conclusion that being from Yorkshire is a disability, you clearly haven't thought at all.

    Yorkshire has a long, distinguished heritage of pioneers - clearly at odds with the accepted definition of disability.

    I rather think you are jealous because you were misfortunate by birth outside the limits of the ridings.

    Nah, disability has a long, distinguished history of pioneers too:

    This guy had holes in his hands:


    This guy only had one ear:


    This guy has motor neurone disease:


    Anyway, I'll stop spamming.

    Is it too much to ask for a dedicated, reliable vbookie mod?

    Rafa owns, but by dedicated I mean a mod for vbookie and nowhere else. He's been busy for the last month or so, I'm guessing because he's back at Uni and I'm sure he doesn't want me bothering him for stuff when he isn't on TSR.

    Fair enough. Let the staff decide, I was just being cheeky :p:
